Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain: A Controlled Study

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment on pain intensity, disability level and psychosocial factors in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain. We hypothesed that osteopathic manipulative treatment is better than conventional physiotherapy in management of pain, disability and depression.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study will conduct between April 2020 and July 2020 at Denizli State Hospital. Participants who were diagnosed as chronic non-specific neck pain by a specialist physician will include the study. They will treated at physical therapy clinic. Inclussion criteria will; participants diagnosed as non-specific neck pain by the physician and Non-spesific neck pain at least 3 months. Exclussion criteria were; participants who have had surgery or are indicated for surgery, participants who have had exercise therapy and / or physical therapy in the last 1 year with a history of trauma to the cervical region, participants who have had neck pain that develop due to a particular cause such as tumor, compression fracture, metastasis and infection. According to power analysis, 102 participant will include the study with 95% coincidence interval and 80% power. Participants will be divided into 2 groups. Randomization method will be closed envelope. Group 1 will receive Conventional Physiotherapy Programme (CP), Group 2 will receive Osteopathin Manipulative Treatment (OMT). Pain Intensity at rest and activity, psychological state( Beck Depression Inventory) and Disability level (Neck Disability Index) will assess at baseline and 3 weeks.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Conventional Physiotherapy Group
This group will receive 15 sessions of conventional physiotherapy programme 5 times per week.
Conventional Physiotherapy consist of Hotpacks, TENS and US.The participants were positioned in sitting and supported with a pillow under the head, 20 min hot pack was applied. Therapatic Ultrason were applied with the frequency of 1 MHz, intensity of 1,5 watt/cm² and duration of 5 minute. TENS was applied to the cervical region with 2-channel, 4 surface electrodes at 60-120 Hz, and 50-100 pulse duration for 20 minutes.
Experimental: Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment Group
This group will receive 9 sessions of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment programme 3 times per week.
Osteopathic Manupilative Treatment consist of stretching the fascia to the cervical region, soft tissue mobilization to the surrounding muscles, cervical manual traction, passive joint mobilization to the 7 cervical spine, passive joint mobilization to the 1st costa, passive joint mobilization to the clavicle and passive joint mobilization to the sternum mobilization in supine and prome positions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Change from baseline pain intensity at 3 weeks
pain intensity at rest and activity will measure by VAS
Change from baseline pain intensity at 3 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disability level
Time Frame: Change from baseline Neck Disability Index score at 3 weeks
Disability level will measue by Neck Disability Index. Score ranges from 0-100. Higher score indicates worse outcome.
Change from baseline Neck Disability Index score at 3 weeks
Depression level
Time Frame: Change from baseline Beck Depression Inventory score at 3 weeks
Depression will measure by Beck Depression Inventory. Scores ranges from 0-63. Higher score indicates worse outcome.
